Flightlessness

See my sky machine
Made of balsa frames and glass with wings
Of silk and subtle strings that tie the pieces all together
And in the sails like imaginary winds and gales
Are all of our successed and failed ideas and inspirations

O flightlessness, O flightlessness
I fell into...

See my sky machine
Made of balsa frames and glass with wings
Of silk and subtle strings that tie the pieces all together
In the sails like imaginary winds and gales
Are all of our successed and failed ideas and inspirations

O flightlessness, O flightlessness
I fell into... (x2)

I let go of my father's hand
And I flew to land on the sun
But before my feet touched the swelling heat
I lost my wings one by one
One by one

O flightlessness, O flightlessness
I fell into death's window (x6)

I let go of my father's hand
And I flew to land on the sun
But before my feet touched the swelling heat
I lost my wings one by one
